My roommate and I would play TEGWAR. It’s extremely complicated, and explaining the rules would take too long, so we’ll explain as we play. We need a deck of cards and… uh… that chess set.
I had to check my hat. It’s an 8, but is a little tight. Hydrocephalus FTW!
Hence the invention of the pork pi hat.
mmm
Go to your room! 
Ah, a dig at America, proud resister of peer pressure—I can’t read the word “kilometers” without hearing it in a funny accent—“Jou mus’ draive turty keel-o-meetairs to get dar!” Ha, ha.
But, serious question, if I went to a hardware store in England (I think they actually call hardware “Fittings and Tots” because, you know, England) would I be able to buy quarter inch bolts, for legacy purposes, or did they give that up?
With most hats I wear a 7 7/8 but for some an 8 is more comfortable.
I doubt it you would have to get 6mm bolts.
There are a few things sold in imperial units, for legacy reasons. Milk and beer are sold by the imperial (not US) pint, thought my carton on milk in the fridge has 4 pints and 2.272 l in equal sized font. Off the top of my head I can not think of anything else though of course road signs are in miles and mph.
I have never heard of fittings and tots and while I live in Scotland I used to live in England and still travel there quite a bit. It might be a local thing but is not used extensively in England as a whole.
Do you wear hats? That’s how/why I know.
Don’t know if you mean me, but I do.
Anyone else here own a hat stretcher? I was gifted a very nice hat, but it was just a hair too small. I bought a hat stretcher and it worked beautifully.
That’s because I made that up.
But I’m actually surprised at your answer. A 6mm bolt simply won’t do. In the US, hardware stores always carry a good selection of metric screws, nuts, bolts and washers, though the imperial stuff outnumbers it maybe 4 to 1.
I did the Batman and Superman polls a few months ago, @Little_Nemo:
Tho someone else had done one 3 years before that, so you’re actually the 3rd ninja in line.
Since we’re moving on from hat sizes, the answer to which celeb took a 7½ : Bullwinkle.
How do you explain the rules governing The Exciting Game Without Any Rules?
Theater parties were the best parties. Imagine Mornington Crescent only with a lot of beer.
Now here’s something we hope you’ll really like!
What, fan mail from some flounder?
mmm
I didn’t like the others: they were all too flat.
Yep, it can add a half size or so.
It seems those those of use blessed/cursed with a big head know our hat size- because the average hate (73/8) doesnt fit. Those with heads that size or a little smaller dont need to know their hats size- the tun of the mill “one size fits all” hate fits fine.
Oh- Calvinball. Or Fizzbin.
This exactly. Thanks!
I don’t know my hat size, though I did at one time. I do have a big head, and it’s sad when I need a hat for some reason that all the really cute styles were sized for microcephalics.
I don’t know my hat size. I just that “one size fits most” is a better description. Not a problem for hard hats, but I can’t wear the company branded bump cap. Fortunately I’m not the only one, so we have a supply of the bigger bump caps. Sadly without logo.
You would think, wouldn’t you? But my head is apparently so freakishly small that an average hat sits comically on top of my ears.
Hey, now!
I didn’t realize that my head was small until after I started having to wear a sun hat whenever I’m outside. This means that I never developed a complex about it, unlike my experience having freakishly large feet. I’m also much taller than the average woman (and a little taller than the average man). It’s like I was built from the feet up and they ran out of material at my head!
